Docket Nos. 50-321, 50-366
Georgia Power Company
ATTN: Mr. J. T. Beckham, Jr.
Vice President, Plant Hatch
Nuclear Operations
P. O. Box 1295
Birmingham, AL 35201
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-321/93-16 AND 50-366/93-16)
This refers to the special assessment conducted by E. B. Pharr of this office
on August 9-13, 1993. The inspection included a review of activities
authorized for your Hatch facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the
findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the
enclosed report.
The assessment was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of licensee actions
,
to keep radiation doses at Plant Hatch as low as reasonably achievable
(ALARA). The inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and
representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations of
activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice).
The violation is of concern because. the failure to lock
an access point into a posted Very High Radiation Area could result in
unnecessary personnel exposures.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
